Chapter 1055 286. Interrogation of Baba Tod
“Your Majesty, the banquet is about to begin.”
In the king’s bedroom, the Councilor stood beside the bed, waking up the sleeping king.
"Master Olmei...oh, it's him." Cloo remembered the name and forced himself to sit up, "It's time to meet."
The servant came over After serving Crowe to dress, the council leader stood outside the curtain and narrated what happened in the past few days.
When it was said that Baba Tod was locked up in the dungeon of the kingdom, a quiet snoring could be heard from behind the curtain.
He fell asleep again.
The servants exited and said awkwardly: "Your Majesty's lethargy is getting worse and worse."
"Let him sleep. Your Majesty will let me know when he wakes up."
>The chairman didn't say anything, didn't show any disappointment, and turned around to leave the palace.
Night fell and the banquet started, but the king still didn't wake up.
But the other protagonist of this banquet, Mr. Olmei, stood in the center of everyone's attention.
Compared with the previous contempt and hostility, this time the nobles looked at Young Master Olmei with flattery and fear.
Everyone can see that the chairman seems to be preparing to train him as his successor.
Some elderly nobles even thought of how similar it was when the Councilor was young... and now?
Annan? successor?
Reynardo and some ministers who knew the inside story were feeling very uncomfortable.
History seems to be heading towards the path of "Annan taking over as Speaker of Parliament and controlling the kingdom without a single blow"... But Annan may not be able to wait.
Annan's attention was not focused on this. He was only thinking about what the little bat said about Grand Duke Babataud being very rich...
He had to find a way to get Babatund's wealth.
In the midst of this, the Speaker came to the banquet.
The nobles were quiet and the chairman of the council said that the king was still resting. He rewarded Annan on behalf of Crowe: a promotion to the title.
In less than a month, Annan changed from a civilian without any identity to a viscount. It's hard not to think too much about this kind of promotion speed.
But for Annan, what excites him most is the opportunity.
"Babatod has been unwilling to reveal how he contacted the rat people. I leave the interrogation to you and search his manor to find clues." The chairman said.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Annan said excitedly.
The Council Chairman showed a smile: "Enjoy the banquet."
It is impossible to enjoy the banquet. Annan was not interested in the flattering faces of nobles and shy ladies. As soon as the banquet was over, he said hello to Renaldo and took Maria straight into the palace dungeon.
As the most severe prison cell in the kingdom, the palace dungeon does not contain any dangerous beings... Who would bury a danger that could blow the palace up to the sky beneath their feet?
The reason for the strictness is that the dungeon held high-ranking princes and ministers—Princess Sales was once imprisoned here in the old royal capital.
Annan walked through the passage and was imprisoned in various cells. He was neatly dressed. He didn't recognize any of the people he looked at. He hummed a nursery rhyme and went straight to Babatado's cell.
"Little Olmei ran around looking for buried treasure~ He found a rich noble, and the treasure disappeared~"
"Grand Duke Babataud, we meet again . ”
He was in good condition and holding a book. But it's not good when you see your enemy.
"Young Master Olmei...you still dare to appear in front of me!" Barbatoud, who was transformed from a noble grand duke to a prisoner, whispered bitterly: "We will not let you go..."
"The person who arrested you is the chairman of the parliament. What does it have to do with me, Olme?"
Babatod doesn't care. Even though he was in prison, he still didn't dare to hate the chairman.
He can only hate Young Master Olme, and it must be Young Master Olme. "I appreciate your willingness to bully the weak and fear the strong, but I don't know if you will still be so tough when you use torture."
"How dare you, I am the Grand Duke of the Kingdom!"
"It's easy if you don't want to be tortured. Tell me everything you know."
"Cough-vomit!"
The filthy hidden weapon attacked, but Maria pulled out a dagger to block it.
"I won't say anything!"
Annan looked at the dagger stained with Babataud's spit in disgust, stopped Maria from putting it away, took it and threw it away.
"We don't want this anymore. I'll buy another one for you."
Hearing this, Babatado's eyes spit fire. What made him even more angry was what happened later. After Annan threw away the dagger, he became more and more angry——
“Cough——poof!”
Annan also spat it back, hitting Baba Todd’s clothes. collar.
“You...uhhhhhhh!!!”
Babatord, who had never been so humiliated before, was impotent and furious.
Annan looked expressionlessly at Babataud who was frantically rubbing his collar with his handkerchief: "Isn't it clear yet? You are just a prisoner now. Even a jailer can step on your face."
“Ahhhhh!”
Baba Tod seems to have mysophobia and is still growling and wiping his collar like a painful beast.
"I have done some research and found that your relationship with Princess Sails is not bad. They seem to be childhood playmates, right? Why did you choose her?"
Annan continued, looking across the cell.
The cell has a bed and table, a toilet, and bookshelves to kill time. Apart from the lack of sunshine, it's not bad here.
“When Princess Seles was rescued, she was almost as thin as a skeleton. Her arms were covered with blood-drawing wounds, and her feet were bitten by rats. There were bloody torture instruments next to her. "Compared to her, you are not miserable at all."
Babatod's movements slowed down.
Annan said to himself: "I guess the reason is that she has been away from the royal capital for more than ten years, has no power of her own, and not many people are willing to stand up for her, so you chose her, right? ?”
"Actually, the second prince should be the most suitable candidate. Crowe's younger brother, one of the purest people in the royal family, and he is in the dungeon, so he is ready... But you are not sure how much Crowe hates the second prince. , can he survive until the rat men attack the royal capital, so you found Princess Seles as a substitute..."
Babatod opened his mouth, this time not to spit, but to ask solemnly: "Who are you?"
For being able to hide from the top of the kingdom for so long, Babatado is not a fool. Young Master Olmei's current behavior clearly knows too much...
Did the Speaker tell him? Then why didn’t the Speaker come and ask in person?
Want to train your successor? This kind of talk can only fool the fools outside... The chairman of the parliament is a legend. He can easily live for hundreds of years, and most of the kingdom's government affairs are also in his hands. Grand Duke Babatot used many methods, and even begged Crow They can't even be placed in key departments...
Such a guy who is full of control will train his successor in his prime?
Babatod suddenly remembered something:
When the Congressman and Kyle confronted each other, he contacted the Ratman through a secret line, and Young Master Olme was the key. But for some reason, the Ratman had a quarrel in the new king's capital, but did not bother Mr. Olmei...
At least now, he was standing in front of him safe and sound.
There were only Annan, Maria and Babatado in front of the cell.
Annan chuckled and said: "Because I, like you, cooperate with the rat people."
"Huh?"
